Light & Dark

With the development of my ideas I have been thinking about the contrast of light and dark as being an important factor to explore. The contrast between the 'complete darkness' implied by the previous industry of coal mining with the lightness of the new building - artists traditionally require good light to work in their studios, computer screens and the RGB colour system are all about light as are televisions and the television and theatre industries require lighting technicians, etc.

Is it possible to bring some darkness into the new building? A darkness that feels at once confining and full of space.
